Thursday Afternoon

Seto Kaiba looked out of the classroom window, and tapped his pencil on the desk. He didn't need to be in this stupid classroom on such a sunny day, being lectured to about how the earth moved around the sun. He already had all of the business skills he needed – Physics was completely irrelevant. Outside, the object of Seto's focus was the girls' track team, running in their white shorts and t-shirts. Many of the guys at his school were gay, but Seto wasn't one of them. He usually didn't watch girls openly, but how could a guy resist when they were running past, just out of reach. His eyes widened when he saw a girl with long, ginger hair sprint past him, it flew in the wind as she ran and Seto almost dropped his pencil as he tapped it on the desk. Serenity Wheeler. He could watch her all day.

After school, Seto met up with his little brother and they started to walk home together. "Hi Seto! Did you have a good afternoon? I know you hate Physics." Moccuba's smile was infectious – it broke every bad mood and calmed Seto down when he was pissed off with things generally. "Yes, it was a good afternoon as things go, and the Physics could've been worse." "You were watching the girls' track team weren't you." Seto let out a small smile. "Yes. Did you see them too little guy?" His head snapped backwards as Joey and Serenity walked in the other direction, but instead of smiling at Serenity, which he usually would've done, he gave Joey a look as if he was some common shit on the underside of one of his shoes. Straightening his posture, he continued walking and talking with his brother. "Nah, I only really got a glance. Can we go to the park today, big brother?"

"Stupid Kaiba, with all his stupid money, stupid mansion and stupid intelligence." "Stupid intelligence?" Serenity raised a finely plucked eyebrow. "You know what I mean, sis. Just because Mr Moneybags has all of that business stuff he thinks he's a kami on earth. He looks down on everyone. Stupid Mr Moneybags." Serenity folded her arms as she was walking, and a hint of a frown crept onto her face. Joey stared in pure shock and disbelief. "I can't believe you don't agree! What do you see in the snob?" "For your information Joey, Seto Kaiba isn't that bad a man. Sure he may insult you, abuse you and say that you're a dog, but you're his greatest rival," "Actually sis, that's Yugi." "Well, he's your biggest rival anyway. Haven't you seen how much he cares about his little brother? Moccuba is so lucky to have Seto looking after him." "Sis, are you getting a crush on Kaiba?" "Umm, no. That's ridiculous Joey." She looked at the floor to hide the blush tainting her cheeks. "Good, because I don't think that I'd be able to tell my best bud that my sis was going off him for some rich jerk."

Aah, Tristan. She thought. I can't wait to see him on Friday, at Yugi's movie night. I hope this silly admiration of Seto that I have will be gone soon, for the sake of what I have with Tristan. He's always so nice to me, and he's been so dedicated since Duke gave up chasing me around and decided that he was gay. I don't want to leave him now.

Thursday Evening

Tea Gardener was walking back to her apartment when she noticed that someone was walking behind her. She turned around, but the follower had gone. Turning back around, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Bakura! You shouldn't scare me like that! What are you doing here?" Bakura smirked evily, but managed to hide it quickly before Tea saw it. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you." He said, heavy on the sarcasm. "Can it Bakura. What are you doing following me and sneaking up on me in the middle of the street? Bakura?" Tea put her head in her hands but when she had lifted it again there was no sign of Bakura anywhere.

Several alleyways away, the Thief King sulked in the shadows and cursed himself. Why do you have to be such a coward? You are the Thief King, the one who walks in shadow, silent as a dead man, and yet you let some stupid mortal girl see you! Just get it over with. Follow her, blindfold her and just do it. Even the holy Pharaoh would have had the guts, even your pathetic aibou! I suppose you'll have to go home now, and try again soon. If Ryou ever found out about what you were planning..." His train of thought was interrupted by a message from Ryou. /Bakura, when are you coming home? Your mental link was blocked and I couldn't reach you? You never block your link. What's going on?/
-Honestly aibou. Can't a Yami have a little privacy once in a while?-
/Have you got a girlfriend??/
-No, I was trying to beat my Pacman score at the arcade and I didn't want you to distract me. I'm coming home now. Ra, Ryou, don't wet yourself at being alone in the house for more than an hour.-

Friday Evening

"They're here, Yami! Bring the popcorn, and the sodas, and the videos, and the sweets, and the pillows, and..." "Calm down, Yugi. Ra, it's only a film night with your friends, do you have to get so excited?" Yugi had opened the door almost immediately after Joey had rung the bell, and flung it open so hard that it almost came off the hinges.

After five minutes of trying to fit everyone into the sitting-room, another five trying to get a seating arrangement where everyone was comfortable and ten more minutes trying to get Yugi to calm down, the gang held a vote for which type of film they were going to watch.

Horror: Bakura, Mai and Malik Action: Tristan Historical: Yami Romance: Ryou, Tea and Serenity Comedy: Joey Disney: Yugi

Because of the tie, they decided to watch both, but chose horror first on Joey's fucked up logic – "First we scare 'em so we get ta put our arms around them, then we hold 'em tight, hee hee hee." Yami put his head in his hands and sighed, but Tristan smiled and stared mysteriously into space... ... ...as Bakura stared at the floor and Ryou glanced at Malik, blushing when he saw Malik looking at him strangely, as if to say, "What the hell are you looking at me like that for, you sissy English-boy?"

===================================================
